ABSTRACT
CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα) has been implicated as a key regulator of
adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism. The pattern of C/EBPα gene expression in different
growth stages and its relation to adipose deposition was studied. Fifteen female Duroc × Landrace
× Yorkshire pigs in five groups of three pigs each, weighing 1, 30, 50, 70 and 90 kg were used
to study developmental gene expression of C/EBPα in subcutaneous adipose tissue by means of
semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The results showed that the C/EBPα mRNA levels in porcine adipose
tissue continuously increased as the pigs grew and deposited fat from 1 to 90 kg body weight (BW)
(P<0.05). The presented data show a close positive correlation between the levels of C/EBPα gene
expression and the fat deposition rate in pigs. The experiment showed that total adipose weight
increased significantly with BW (P<0.05).
